“ Sky remains committed to giving YouView customers the full NOW TV experience and has been working for some time with YouView management to achieve this.”Įarly rumours suggested that if Sky cannot reach an agreement with YouView then it may decide to pull either NOW TV’s live channel support or possibly the entire app from BT and TalkTalk’s YouView based IPTV platforms, which some reports claim could allegedly impact almost 1 million subscribers. Naturally Sky would like to cut out the £250k fee it pays to BT and TalkTalk, yet this will only work if it can reach an agreement with YouView’s management.Ī Sky Spokesperson told .uk (canned statement): the NOW TV catch-up content would work but not the live TV channels). Sadly the native YouView platform, which is supported as part of a Joint Venture by BT, TalkTalk, the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 and Arqiva, doesn’t currently accommodate live streaming over-the-top (i.e. Subscribers can also purchase a tiny NOW TV Set-Top-Box (STB) for a one-off payment of just £9.99, which isn’t mandatory because you can just as easily watch the content via an ordinary web browser or any other of 50 supported platforms / devices (Android, iOS etc.).Īt present customers who take one of BT or TalkTalk’s YouView ( IPTV) based TV products can also use a special NOW TV app on the related STBs to access the live channels via their proprietary systems, although it was revealed last month ( here) that Sky has to pay an annual fee of £250,000 to the ISPs in order for them to include support for this.
